Can confirm, I installed LineageOS without Google anything and push notifications do not work properly with most apps. Discord, several email providers, basically anything cloud-based

I checked, and now the oldest computers that can run a modern Linux kernel are…33 years old! Still amazing.

I am surprised to learn it was May of last year, with the 6.15 kernel being the first to drop 486 support and the 386 family dropping out back in 2012.

After a touch more research to figure out what the oldest currently-supported computers would be: I also hadn’t realized the first Pentium debuted in 1993. Pentium and compatibles are still operable, so there are maintained distros out there like Tiny Core Linux that will work on computers made 33 years ago. Just amazing.

Assuming they end up making it for export. The article makes it sound like other Chinese companies are already interested so they may be the primary customers

It really is amazing how far back Linux reaches. Aren’t there a few distros with current support that will run on a 486?

Shame. They should’ve let it happen and redacted all the attendees.
